Some of my

Something about me

Hello people, was hard for me to write this lines, or better said, to tell you about me.
But to my good fellows, if you are seeing my Blog, I guess that some of you will like better to know a little further about my persona.
I was born in the neighborhood of Villa Urquiza in 1967.
In the Capital Federal, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I did start drawing on my childhood, which brought me serious troubles at School and
Gave headaches to my parents as well.
In 1982, I decided to get my foot in Fine Arts.
Then, among those Malvina’s War times, I did start attending at the Manuel Belgrano School.
I attended five years there. I didn't make it quite well on my first year, I was always behind in my grades.
This become worse, when by my fourth year, I went in an argument with a professor of painting that dare to say that Comics were not an Art form.
For him. these were mere commercial drawing. Of course, I wasn't going to let him go with that.
I talk back to him, saying...And what do you do with your paintings?...Do you eat then? You, …asshole?
I considered myself dismissed from that School.
Short time after that, I landed having a job at Chiche's Medrano studio making backgrounds for Italian comics books.
Then, I meet Alberto Saichann a person that I truly appreciate.
And I went two years working with him for England, Italy, France.
By then, I started a friendship with the late Carlos Meglia, he asked me to work with him doing backgrounds for his comics and other works.
Thus, I started my work on Irish Coffee, Cybersix and I don't recall what else.
I start my first steps in those Magazines with Guillermo's Saccomanno scripts.
That work was made for Italy and I got Neil Mc Luty as a surname, je...je...it was very funny.
Everything was made throughout Carlo's Trillo agency.
That was the year of 1987.
Later on, I went to work with the writer Ricardo Ferrari and if you ever read the magazine El Tony, you already know of whom I'm talking about.
By seven years, I did work with him for Italy. That ended in 1994.
I begun working for Continuity comics by Neal Adams. I worked as inker. I inked several issues for Heath 4.
The same year, I got my launching at Marvel Comics as a designer. I made spaceships and X-men’s Universes.
That was very nice, by two years along.
Then, I got a call from FOX, the USA channel. I was asked for make designs for a upcoming
TV serial, called Scrap Force, it was directed by Joe Calamari. It seems that he was fond of my artwork.
On my mind I was looking forward for work in Animation. But the resources for doing that in the country were scarce.
I've kept myself working for Warner's DC Loony Tunes along the next three years.
I also worked in doing children books. Comic for Disney, the Beauty and The Beast, Hercules, Toy Story , Lion King. Bugs, Tarzan, El Jorobado de Notre Dame y etc y etc.
Between 1998/99 I found myself working for a workshop, designing sets for Theaters, Shopping malls and the Cris Morena's TV sitcom, Chiquititas and the Libro gordo de Petete.
I made those designs and modeling teamed with a nice group of people.

By the year 2000 I went seriously hill and I wasn’t able for work by two years.
I was going blind.
But by strength and will, and thanks the support of my family and beloved friends.
My loved brothers Mario and Guille, Alberto Beron who is family.
Damian and Maria Lara my two loved genies. Eduardo Zucala, Alfredo Palomeque who contacted me with the right specialist.
Martha and Orlando Guerrera.
Andrea Diaz and my three sons, Lucas, Agustina and Federico Luty, who are the blessing of my life.

Gustavo y Maru Puente, David Rotemberg ,Carlos Alberto Diaz.
My mom and my dad whom unfortunately is not longer with us.
The doctor who saved my life, Arturo Irrarazabal.
Thanks to the support of all of them I could make it through.
If I ‘m forgetting of some of you, I apologize.
But please, be sure that you are close to my heart.

And for other non related matters, (Thanks Guillermo Rayn, I love you dude.)
I ended working at the Mono Mario, eight month, thankfully.
I meet people very nice and kind there that today are my friends.
But that place…my God!
And finally! I made contact with Sergio Fernandez who proposed me to work on Teo el cazador Intergalactico. That was my first animated movie.
Although that I already knew a lot of people from Animation, at the time, I felt that this was a real challenge for me.

I put everything over the table and I made it well.
Later, I got a call from Patagonik Animation Group for working on the production for the movie
Patoruzito…ugh! (Gisaku on Filmax.)

Working on Patagonik, I participate on the making of El Raton Perez #1 and #2
El Arca, also from Patagonik. My friend Sebastian Barreiro and I were very proud of the work we had done in this production.
Then, Galileo, an unfinished production.
After working straight four years and half, Patagonik Animation Group, the production company, decided to close his doors. Shortly after they won the award “el Condor de Plata”.

My friend Karina Carlo Magno called me for becoming part of the team for Buenos Aires Herido,
The first movie production made by Caloi.
With my friends Sebastian Barreiro, Mariano Vidal and Karina Carlo Magno, we were working on this movie production from the beginning.
By now, I am not longer working there, neither Mariano or Sebastian are.
Nowadays I’m working in the making of the movie Gaturro.
Together with my FRIEND Sergio Fernandez, with direction of Gustavo Covas and
production of Luis Massa by Illusion Studios.

What is coming next? I can not tell.
I hope I didn’t make you bored. For all means, I tried to be brief.
I made a lot of things, I guess I remarked some of them, or at least the ones that I regard the best.
So, you can know a bit more from me.
Thanks to everyone for visiting my Blog.
And just one last thing!
Never stop dreaming, that is the only way to achieve what we want and yearn for.
And if what we are yearning for is work… to dream, thus, is in itself a wonderful job!
